Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus) is an important commercial fish and shows to be more and more demanded for human consumption. Therefore, it is very important to find good methods for monitoring the freshness of the fish in order to keep it in the best quality for human consumption. In this study, the fish was stored in ice up to 2 weeks. Quality changes during storage were assessed by the Qu...

The use of 3D city models has been introduced into a variety of fields from urban planning to disaster management. These models are no longer regarded as ‘simple’ visual representations of the real world; they act as an information space and as semantic models for urban environments as they represent much more than the visual appearance of the real world. For users of these ‘rich’ models the Le...

-Inpainting is the process of reconstructing lost or deteriorated part of images based on the background information. i. e .it fills the missing or damaged region in an image utilizing spatial information of its neighboring region. Inpainting algorithm have numerous applications. It is helpfully used for restoration of old films and object removal in digital photographs. The main goal of the al...

With increasing interest in sophisticated graphics capabilities in mobile systems, energy consumption of graphics hardware is becoming a major design concern in addition to the traditional performance enhancement criteria. Among the different steps in the graphics processing pipeline, we have observed that memory accesses during texture mapping – a highly memory intensive phase – contribute 30-...

on the Renault part scene. Illustrated in the shaded view of the scene description is the inferred region for the half-oc-cluded background (compare to the correspondence data). A rectified, texture mapped view of the scene is also presented. Notice that the left side of the Renault part, which is mostly occluded, is correctly inferred. In both texture mapped views, inferred regions with no tex...

We introduced an unsupervised texture segmentation method , the selectionist relaxation, relying on a Markov Random Field (MRF) texture description and a genetic algorithm based relaxation scheme. It has been shown elsewhere that this method is convenient for achieving a parallel and reliable estimation of MRF parameters and consequently a correct image segmentation. Nevertheless, these results...

The identification of melanomas in dermoscopy images is still an up to date challenge. Several Computer Aided-Diagnosis Systems for the early diagnosis of melanomas have been proposed in the last two decades. This chapter presents an approach to diagnose melanomas using Bag-of-features, a classification method based on a local description of the image in small patches. Moreover, a comparison be...

This paper presents a novel LDP based image descriptor which is more robust to temporal face changes. LDP is a framework to encode directional pattern based on local derivative variations, hence LDP is highly directional. However texture based features extracted globally tend to average over the image area. Hence this paper proposes to divide the face image into multiple regions and perform LDP...

Rendering systems often represent curved surfaces as a mesh of planar polygons that are shaded to add realism and to restore a smooth appearance. To increase the rendering speed, complex operations such as the solution of the rendering equation or texture transformation are executed just for a few knot points and the values at other points are interpolated. Usually linear transformation is used...

Electromigration, as one of the main failure mechanismus of VLSI circuits, is of great concern to microelectronics industry. The effects of grain morphology as well as texture can be studied on a mesoscale by Automated Crystal Orientation Mapping (ACOM) in the SEM since it provides a detailed description of the microstructure. Textural functions (e.g. pole figures, ODF, MODF), statistical param...
